POMONA.

The Masquerade and Fancy Dress Hall NJ
knowlton's Hall.
Correspondence of the PALATKA NEWS.
POMONA. March II, 1887.
The masquerade and fancy dress ball
held at Knowlton's hall on the 18th, was
grand success in every respect, ex-
cept numbers, although four sets were
danced at a time. Bagley and Ludlow
furnished the music, which was all that
could be desired. A goOdly number
wore masks and Costumes. some of
which were unique. To enumerate
would take too much space. so we will
confine ourselves to some of the ladies'
costumes. Mrs. knowlton was dressed
as Luna; Mrs. Burk and Mrs. Callizer.
as Night; Mrs. Vincent. as Morning:
Mrs. PURGE, the Pomona Goddess of
Fruit; Mrs P. III. Smith and Will Vim
cent, as Nuns: Miss Avis and Mrs.
Sheppard, Of Sisco, as Sisters Of the Red
Cross; Mrs. j. Miller, as a Gypsey: Miss
Florence Bagley, as a Flower Girl, dis
tributed small bouquets and roses to all
the ladies'. Not being good at describing
dresses, we will have to forego that
pleasing task. Guests were present
from Crescent City, Crystal Lake. Sisco.
Satsuma, Como and Ridgewood Dick
Piatt had charge of the floor. The fes-
Invites lasted until 8 o'clock, and were
rated success by all.
Our club will hold dance at the same
place on or about the 5th of April.

An Opportunity for Business

Florida cypress lumber brings a good
price In every market it is offered for
sale, and 1t is great wonder that the
business has not been largely engaged
IN. The supply of that timber along
the st. Johns river and its tributaries
y practically inexhaustible, and the
industry only awaits development to
bring fortune to those that engage in it.
II has been suggested that the steam
boat lines on the river establish several
miis along it's banks, and saw and ship
the lumber. They have the boats to
move the products Of the mills, and AN
inexhaustible supply Of cypress is at
hand. That it would pay. there is no
room to doubt. 1t would create a big
business, and assist materially in the de-
velopment of this section.

LIFE AT SUMNER HAVEN.

Fish, Oysters, Crabs and Fun-How .
Winter Dav IL spent bv - sum msr Sea.
Editor Palatka News:
Your readers know what life at Sum-
mer Haven means in July and August,
but have had a new experience which
am anxious to divide. Ii the lesson
affords as much enjoyment to others as
it did to me, somebody will grow fat,
For have found that 1 can live during
the winter at a place expressly built for
. summer resort for l am still alive. =
Matanzas Inlet is twenty miles south
of st. Augustine, and on the southern
side of the inlet is a collection of about
thirty houses where various citizens of
Putnam county cool off during the sum-
mer. This embryo city has followed a
custom which is invariable VIII erever in
Florida two houses are built within
sight OF each other, it has been duly in
corporated and baptized and is called
Summer Haven. believe every citizen
is an officer and each inagines himself
Boss" This would be all right if the
rest was left to fancy as well. but the
visitor is compelled to give orders also or
take a seat so far back that he gets moth
ing to eat.
To this metropolis lately came Messrs
Burton and Seeley with their ladies' from
Crescent City, and also Mr.. Hotchkin
and wife and Miss Hotchkin, of Welaka
They all came Through the country"
and brought their provisions with them
When they arrived they told us they had
met rattlesnake ON the road which had
scared the whole crowd. The ladies
were still unnerved, but the gentlemen
had put on fresh courage several times
and were able to walk.
Squire Burton declined to act as
chaperon for the party, and Mr.. Seeley
most drowned to find fiddlers for bait
The ladies thought it was cruel to hook
the miserable little black crabs, so Mr.
Hotchkin did it for them, and they be-
gan to fish for sheephead. They caught
many fine fish and were then cruel
enough to let the beauties die in slow
torture and afterwards eat them for sup
per. They also sent out for oysters. and
suppose they ate these too.
Did you ever eat a stone crab prop
erly cooked? If you have been SO for
tunate, try it again and let Mr.. Seeley do
the cooking. shall try it again at the
first opportunity. Then this party went
after bass and they worked till their
arms ached and still the fish were plenti-
full. And they went down the river and
shot some ducks. They killed marsh
hens across the river and they told long
stories while the men smoked.
MIR. HOtchkin says he is coming back
next summer, to keep hotel here, but
fear it is only because he wants to get
fat on fish, CLANS and crabs and fun He
can eat a bushel of clam chowder now,
and then he says he needs oysters for
desert. What he will do this summer
when it is all CLAIMS. cannot imagine
but the whole bed Of the river is paved
with them, so he will probably have
enough to last him month.
1t was cold but this party kept warm;
as for me, l am only an echo and my
name Is JOHN.
